The LEGO Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Emmet (Chris Pratt; Parks and Recreation, Guardians of the Galaxy) is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which he is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared."

The next highly anticipated Marvel Studios film this year – Thor: The Dark World is soon hitting the theaters. Following the events of The Avengers, Thor returns to the big screen and sets upon a journey to confront a new enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand.

To celebrate the launch of this epic sequel of Thor, Hot Toys is proud to present the new 1/6th scale Thor Collectible Figure. The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the movie, featuring the newly developed head sculpt, muscular body, highly detailed costume, weapon and accessories.

Some say the spy thriller is a thing of the past, or at least it’s slowly dying as time goes on. Some of that is right. The “spy” has become somewhat irrelevant after the Cold War because the world’s standard on “bad guys” has lost a nation behind them, so there’s no established structure to infiltrate and spy on. Also, they are not as well funded as the spies of the Cold War era and can’t afford fancy gadgets and gizmos. For the last 20 years, the spy thriller genre has done two things to prevent its own demise. They’ve either kept their stories contained in the 40+ years where their genre thrived or (for the ones that couldn’t do that) have created fictional groups with more established structures for their spies to infiltrate. (Or just turned Russia into North Korea.) These methods have worked, but only to a point since the further we get away from the Cold War the less Russian villains even matter. They just don’t have the staying power of the dreaded Nazi, but soon the Nazi’s standard as the overall bad guy will probably fade too. The second method just doesn’t hold the same real-world gravitas since there really is no Hydra or AIM, so the threat is not as large as the Soviets. So, after saying all that, does Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting’s Velvet embrace the first or second method to try and bring back the spy thriller? And does it work?

Call of Duty: Ghosts introduces Extinction - an all-new 1-4 player cooperative game mode featuring a unique blend of fast-paced survival action, FPS base defense, scavenging and class leveling...as if you needed more reasons to play the mind blowing, ground breaking Ghosts!!

Welcome to Call of Duty: Ghosts, an extraordinary step forward for one
of the largest entertainment franchises of all-time. This new chapter in
the Call of Duty franchise features a fresh dynamic where players are
on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty,
but simply to survive.

Midnight City, the recently founded indie label of Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of games for the mass market, is proud to announce Blue Island Studios’ Slender: The Arrival at a discounted introductory price of $7.99 through November 4. This upgraded experience now features extended content, a new creature to contend with and full optimization for Steam players.

Since 2009, Slender Man’s internet debut, the mythos and canon around the persona has grown exponentially, spiraling off into fan fiction (creepypasta), video series and countless still images. Now, the ultimate immersive experience is available through the only official Slender Man game, with new content to discover and a new servant of Slender Man – Charlie – a young boy, now a lost soul, who exists solely for the sadistic pleasure of The Operator. As players explore, they can find new clues and information about Charlie’s past and how he came to be under the control of this ominous force. In addition, Blue Isle Studios has revamped the ending to provide a more robust experience for players who will have access to a suite of new Steam features. Online leaderboards, stat tracking, achievements, cloud saves, trading cards and full controller support for gamepads are all built into the game.

And now for something completely nerdy. We welcome Emi Debos to the fold as she tackles the occasional high tech gadget, killer software pack or techy event.

Poser 2014 is the latest software release of the infamous 3D modeling and animation program most elusive to freelance designers. Everyone in animation has revered Poser as one of the top animation programs for its great ability to create the best computer generated looking people, and yet barely any of us have the finances to use it (I did say “freelance”, right?). Now that I’ve used the program, I can see why. Its layout is similar to most other open source animation platforms with a customizable main screen, but with tools that are different than most programs I am familiar with. Given its ability to manipulate the Z-Axis, they create more options for altering different spaces. As opposed to memorizing a lot of key shortcuts (and there are a lot), they have it as part of their tools on the left hand side. They’ve put a lot of attention and care into creating very recognizable shapes for each tool, making it incredibly easy to pick up.

Gearing up for the December 13, 2013, release of “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), fans will get a chance to meet new cast members joining the highly anticipated second film in “The Hobbit” Trilogy, including Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace and Luke Evans, as part of a global fan celebration to be held on Monday, November 4, at 5:00 pm EST, and simultaneous times around the world. At each of the satellite-linked cinemas in four host cities—Los Angeles, New York, London and Wellington—Jackson and members of his cast and filmmaking team will gather with fans to show exclusive footage from “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” and answer questions in front of a live audience, as well as offer a few surprises.

Sylvester Stallone may have caught flack for charging over 300 dollars an autograph at New York Comic Con 2013 (I'm sure he is crying into his hundreds as we speak), but that doesn't mean all iconic action stars are ready to follow suit. I'm hoping the future contains a lot more moments like these. Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Reddit to take requests for people's favorite movie lines, which he very seriously recreated and posted on YouTube. I'm not sure how many he's going to do as the bit isn't obviously marked over on Reddit, but the "If It Bleeds" clip is the first to hit...although it isn't the first quote Arnold has thrown at the interweb. I think I'm starting to love this guy again. We've included several more ArnoldTV bits...because it's Friday...and no one wants to really get work done today anyways.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard "What Does The Fox Say" and wished Morgan Freeman would read the lyrics to me before bed...well...I'd have a shit load of nickels. I'm just going to leave this right here...

Ba-sing-a! The Big Bang Theory is getting musical with the release on iTunes of an original song performed by the cast. In the Thursday, October 24, episode “The Romance Resonance,” the plans Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) has to celebrate the anniversary of his first date with his microbiologist wife, Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz (Melissa Rauch), are thwarted when a lab incident leaves her temporarily quarantined. In a romantic gesture, Howard performs the original song “If I Didn’t Have You (Bernadette’s Song)” outside her hospital room, with his friends Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Raj (Kunal Nayyar) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) singing backup.

Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers is based on Marvel’s most popular team of Super Heroes, The Avengers and will premiere nationwide on terrestrial television in spring 2014.

The three companies will collaborate in creating a fully localized Japanese series as well as providing a lineup of attractive products and merchandise targeting the boys market.

Annnnd we're back. Those who have been reading Idle Hands for a bit know that October has become a horrific month for us, and not just for the sake of using horror puns at Halloween. With New York Comic Con and our participation at Rock and Shock alongside the usual spooky festivities, I find myself beat to hell, void of working vocal chords and with a strange bruise under my right eye...but I swear there were no drunken battles this weekend....at least none I took part in. At any rate, the show must go on and Emilie Noetzel returns with a look at the convention series quickly becoming a movie FX fan's dream come true.

On Saturday October 12th, 2013, my trusted friend
and co-photographer Nicole Marrokal and I made the drive to Burbank for 2 days
of monster fun at Son of Monsterpalooza.Having a 6 hours class (yes a single class for 6 hours) on the Friday,
we could not come up from San Diego for all 3 days of the show.Google mapping lead us to discover the way to
Malibu and how much we are in need of a beach vacation, but that would have to
wait.After some recalculating, we made
it to Burbank with a short detour and delay to join the rest of freaks and
geeks at the Burbank Marriott.

Jedi News gets the scoop on Disney's lineup of multi media projects for Star Wars for the next two years, as found in a brochure handed out at the European Brand Licensing Show. Alongside the hotly anticipated, anxiety making, geek madening Star Wars Episode VII, you'll find some new LEGO video game bits, mentions of the new Rebels animated series premiere and the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars special...and my favorite...DARTH VADER THEMED TV SPECIALS!!! I hope they turn Vader into a Martha Stewart-like character who entertains Jedi younglings with scientific experiments aided by the force and..you know..a holiday crafting special. He's a natural.

For those of you who get angry at the characters who go skinny dipping in the supposedly cursed lake where 25 campers were beheaded...who scream at the screen when folks think it's a good idea to run off in opposite directions from the single supernatural slasher...who beat their head against the closest wooden surface when the overly brainy girl starts reading Latin passages out of a book with eyes, teeth and fresh, dripping blood...FROM A BOOK....this one's for you.

Massachusetts prepares for the 10th anniversary
of the Rock and Shock Horror and Music convention series this weekend (October
18th-20th) with a lineup of sinister guests, musical acts
and events that can not be missed!

From the creative minds of Zack Snyder (Man of Steel) and Bruce Timm
(Superman: The Animated Series) and produced by Warner Bros. Animation,
this short follows Superman through the years, from his first appearance
on the cover of Action Comics #1 to Henry Cavill in this year's Man of
Steel...all in two minutes! Believe it or not, it's all in there...old school animated Supes, the Super Pets, a giant rampaging Jimmy Olsen, silly looking classic Brainiac, an animated classic Christopher Reeves Superman, a quick nod to the Timm animated series and a quicker toe to toe with Doomsday, Superman's black interpretive dance costume complete with 90's hair, splitting into Superman Blue and Red and on into the new 52 where his lil red shorts disappear. There's so much to love here, I can see die hard fans watching this video over and over. Enjoy!!

October 12th-
No sleep issues today. Just got up and got out, ready to hit the Con on its
busiest day. Saturday is a great day for NYCC, but I warn you.. don’t make it
your only day. Saturday is usually the day with the most essential
panels and the dealers seem to have the most swag, but it comes with a price.
No.. not one of money, but one of room. On Friday and Sunday one could travel
from one end of the show floor to the other in... I’d say about 20 minutes if you
don’t mind bumping into a couple people and squeezing through some tight
spaces. On Saturday, though, it could take you 45 minutes to an hour to make it
across the floor because you don’t actually do much walking. It's more like shuffling. If you don’t mind large crowds and tight spaces by all means just go
Saturday; the best cosplayers usually come out(and boy did Idle Hands get some great pictures of them), and did I
mention the panels? The comics world came in full force with panels
ranging from Inhumanity to Vertigo to the New 52, but only one panel shined as
the most essential panel for me this year.

Announced today at New York Comic Con, Dark Horse is bringing the Whedonverse into it’s tenth season with the help of fan favorite authors, Christos Gage and Victor Gischler.

“In Buffy, Season 10 is going to be about bringing friendships back together, while in Angel and Faith, relationships are shattered. Magic is starting to come back into the world, but in some surprising ways, like that vampire we saw standing in the sunlight at the end of Season 9,” says Editor in Chief Scott Allie.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 is slated for 30 issues, written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Rebekah Issacs, with covers by long time series artist, Steve Morris.

“The Buffyverse community has been wonderfully welcoming to Rebekah and me. It's a tremendous honor for Joss and Dark Horse to trust us with their flagship book, and we are going to do all we can to be worthy of that trust. It's a new season, with new rules...but hopefully the same blend of love, action, horror, humor and creativity that's made Buffy and her Scoobies part of all our families. We hope you'll join us for the ride,” states Christos Gage.

Friday October 11th-
I awoke for my first day of New York Comic Con after only three hours of sleep, alert
and ready for…well.. actually grumpy and wanting to go back to bed. But the clock
was ticking and I had to make that (for no good reason) 11 o’clock in the
morning Amazing X-Men panel. By the time I arrived in Penn Station, nerds had
fully infested the city like a zombie plague, and yes, there were even some
zombies. So I did what I always do (and if it’s your first time this is a
helpful hint), I followed the nerds to the Javitz Center. It’s a short walk
and if the weather is bearable, there’s no reason to pay for a cab or wait for
the shuttle. I arrived at the Javitz Center, spent probably around 10 minutes
looking for the panel room (since they like to shuffle the landscape around
randomly) and was ready to..wait in line for like ...45 minutes. But then it
was panel time.

When we hit New York Comic Con..or any other con, we put together an awesome team and hit it hard...and then at night...we find an awesome party and hit it hard...so please excuse the lack of hourly updates. WE CRAVE FUN. If you're a regular, you know this is not the place for up to the minute coverage, but I think we deliver the goods. We did manage to work a fan favorite property into our shoots yesterday and thought we might throw all that eye candy at you this morning. It seems Dark Horse knows your love for Game of Thrones has not diminished and is sending out more excellent collectibles for your medieval-y shelf space into 2014.

With one week til the opening of the Carrie remake, super pranksters Thinkmodo took to the streets of New York City...and rigged a coffee shop for destruction. MIND EXPLODEY DESTRUCTION!! I don't know about you but if this had happened in Brooklyn when I was growing up, someone would have decked the poor girl. We all knew about mutants...and you gotta knock those suckers out fast. I'll also add, if friends of mine had rigged this, the dude's head would have went kaplooey and those coffee shop patrons would be scarred for life right now. Hit play and prepare to laugh your ass off. Suffice to say, if you are supposed to be working, you'll have to do this all ninja like...or just call everyone over and disrupt business for 5 minutes. Your call.

As we spiral headlong toward the October 13th US release date of the newest Skylanders expansion, we'll tip you off on a public event in Tomes Square, NYC this week and give you some new eye candy to drool over...

In addition, Monster Hunter fans can unite at the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate lounge with photo opps and a seating area with charging stations for hunters to easily join up and quest.

For more than two decades, writer-director Guillermo del Toro has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that is uniquely his own. From his first feature-length film, the modern classic Cronos, to his best-selling novels, to his latest movie Pacific Rim, del Toro has proven himself to be a one-of-a-kind creative visionary able to bring his singular sensibility equally to Hollywood blockbusters such as Hellboy and to more personal projects such as the Oscar–winning Pan’s Labyrinth. Now comes a gift and gorgeous keepsake for his legions of fans: GUILLERMO DEL TORO CABINET OF CURIOSTIES: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions (Harper Design; On Sale October 29, 2013: $60.00, 256 pages; ISBN: 978-0-06-208284-8), a lavishly illustrated book that is an intimate look into one of the most imaginative minds of this century. GUILLERMO DEL TORO CABINET OF CURIOSTIES—written with New York Times best-selling author and filmmaker Marc Scott Zicree—contains notes, drawings, and untold creatures from Guillermo del Toro’s private journals and filmmaking diaries, with never-before-seen characters, art, and ideas of things to come. The book is a captivating, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of one of the world’s most creative visionaries.
